Charles Raymond Smith, Sr., age 100 of Moorefield, WV, passed away Monday morning, May 4, 2026, at Grant Rehabilitation and Care Center in Petersburg, WV. Born on October 12, 1925, in Moorefield, WV, he was the son of the late Raymond S Smith and Iona Elizabeth Whitacre Smith. His wife, Virginia Armeda Kline Smith preceded him in death in January 2012. He was also preceded in death by a brother and a sister. Charles was the last member of his immediate family.
Charles was a true lover of the great outdoors—whether hunting, fishing, or enjoying camping trips with Virginia, he embraced every moment in nature. He found joy in tending to his summer garden, sharing his harvest with friends and family. In his later years, you could find him relaxing on his front porch, swinging gently as he savored the simple pleasures of life. When the weather didn’t cooperate, he delighted in watching classic westerns and the laughterfilled antics of “Sanford and Son.”
